** The "Espresso 2 Go" mission requires you to go round the entirety of Liberty City destroying Colombian SPANK dealers posing as coffee sellers under a time limit. It is nearly impossible to hit all the espresso stands in time unless you look for them all first (they show up on the map when you see them), very tiring. In addition, at this point in the game the Mafia is hostile and own a portion of the map with a coffee stand, meaning they will shoot at you as you travel through the area. On its own, this wouldn't be an issue (they're not the only gang that will shoot you on-sight), except that they're the ones that attack you with shotguns, which are all but a death sentence for you due to game mechanics (shotguns for some reason act like they're firing explosive slugs when they hit a car, so your car will only last through maybe three shots). Even more tedious is finding a good route.

* ''VideoGame/JustCause2'' brings us Black Gold. You're piloting a fighter jet, and have to blow up an oil rig. Jet controls are difficult to figure out at best. And if you die? Well, good job, you just locked yourself out of 100% (unless you get 100% on that rig BEFORE starting the mission). Of course you can always use a helicopter instead of the jet, which makes the mission considerably easier.

** Zero's first mission was truly frustrating--for a while, it made even the next two seem manageable--in that you stand on a roof, shooting down model bomber planes with a minigun so they don't get a chance to destroy Zero's transmitters. These little buggers ''just keep coming from every single direction'' and worse still, our ''pacifist "friend"'' Zero simply won't stop whining at you. Note that the PC version of Zero's first mission is ''really'' easy.
** And those are cake compared to "Supply Lines". You have to fly an RC plane around San Fierro gunning down five couriers that can spread through out the entire city [[GuideDangIt if you don't know the exact routes they take]] and then land the plane on Zero's store. The catch is you have a ridiculously low amount of fuel to do it with. That mission's actually a lot easier in the post-Hot Coffee editions of the game. The problem with the original is that your fuel acted more as a time meter, i.e. draining even when you weren't accelerating. In later editions, this is fixed so that fuel is consumed only while you're holding the gas button, making the mission much more manageable (but still by no means easy) or just has three times as much fuel. Even so, the mission is in itself also pointless. Zero insists that you use his model plane to take out the couriers, and admonishes you for failing at it, when you could have killed all of them in half the time if he just sent you out on foot.
** "Freefall", where you have to act as some sort of air pirate and jump from your plane to another one in order to kill four mafia assassins. It's not just the difficulty of the mission(which mainly comes from how tricky it is to to turn the plane at exactly the right moment at exactly the right altitude; if you don't turn at the right time, you will never catch up to the plane since the plane you're forced to use has inferior speed), but the sheer ridiculousness of not choosing to just gun them down ''after they land''. And also the minutes you spend flying until you get to the place where you intercept the incoming airplane.

It's ''technically'' optional, but everyone suffers through it anyway because you get $50,000 for the bank robbery, and $10,000 a day for completing the night club asset missions. Money that provides for powerful weapons and a comfortable cushion in the final mission where [[spoiler:Sonny Forelli's men start robbing you blind while you chase after Lance to kill him.]] To give some background, you're setting up a back heist and you need a good driver. No doubt you are one, but for the purpose of the story it needs to be someone other than you. That someone is Hillary, a very effeminate man with abandonment issues who insists that the only way he'll work for you is if you beat him in a race. Sounds fair, right? Let us count the ways it screws you over.

** The "Espresso 2 Go" mission requires you to go round the entirety of Liberty City destroying Columbian SPANK dealers posing as coffee sellers under a time limit. It is nearly impossible to hit all the espresso stands in time unless you look for them all first (they show up on the map when you see them), very tiring. In addition, at this point in the game the Mafia is hostile and own a portion of the map with a coffee stand, meaning they will shoot at you as you travel through the area. Even more tedious is finding a good route.

** The second-to-last mission of Level 6, Set To Kill is very infamous. The player has 1:45 to destroy 15 laser gun stands by ramming them with a vehicle that follow a linear pattern. This is difficult enough, but after doing that, the player is given 50 seconds to drive all the way back to where the mission starts. This requires all shortcuts to be taken and is severely frustrating. What's worse is that most of the time, you'll fail just a second off from reaching the destination.
** The game doesn't hide that the player is a second off, either, as a giant blue sphere marks each destination.
* Kwik Cash, where the player has to destroy an armoured truck using a very fast, but not very strong vehicle, and if the vehicle blows up the mission fails...
** It doesn't help that after doing this, the player is given a timed lose-the-tail segment with Chief Wiggum, and if the player fails it's all the way back to the start...

** One mission has you infiltrating a police station in order to hack their computer system. As designed, it's pretty straightforward: You walk in (disguised as repairpeople) and go straight for the computer room. Shaundi begins hacking, which sets off some sort of alarm, raising your police notoriety to four stars. This triggers waves of cops, whom you shoot. Eventually, Shaundi declares that she's finished and you escape in the conveniently-provided helicopter. This would not suck at all if a later patch hadn't given police helicopters (a number of which hang around the police station) the ability to shoot freaking ''guided missiles'' when your police notoriety is at four stars (which it is, unavoidably). Under these circumstances, you're doing well to even reach the conveniently-provided helicopter before you explode in a shower of mission failure.

** The final missions (the same one in three parts, actually). To sum up, you have to drive from the power plant to the school carrying a barrel of toxic waste strapped to your bumper which will fall off and explode if you so much as ding a wall with your fender. The path is also extremely unforgiving and the car controls for this game are very sensitive. Did I mention it's a TimedMission? If you lose the barrel, it forces you to run all the way back to the plant. But wait! That's a Timed Mission, too! One that will likely be outright impossible to complete if you've gone even half the required distance, forcing a restart. Oh, and there are certain points where other cars will try to ram you, and if you don't manage to get far enough from them before they turn to chase you, they'll catch up and bump into you, destroying the barrel and starting the above nonsense. Finally, because all the above just isn't enough, it's the only mission without a MercyMode.

** Ryder White's DLC campaign. It begins with waves of humans with guns, a horde of Infected spawning if you don't go straight for the objective, [[OneHitKill Suiciders]] hiding around corners or behind closed doors. Cheap but manageable. After blowing the bridge however you have to get to the roof of a petrol station and hold out for extraction. There's lots of guns, ammo, explosives and fuel drums so you should be able to easily wait for the chopper...right? Every Infected on both Banoi and Palanai ''scream,'' '''"ZEEERRRG RUUUSH!!!"''' at the same time and pelt for your position. Jumping up on something to avoid them doesn't work, they just knock you off. Best chance is to run and hide behind a bin far away and try to kill the fifty it takes before you can rush back and move on.

Every one of them is notoriously unforgiving (Even the mission in the first level), and you're forced to race the starting vehicle from the ''next'' level, which is statistically superior to every vehicle available in the level you're in. To rub salt into the wound, the prize for the race is typically the best vehicle available to you in the ''current'' level.

Thirdly, there's enough pedestrians and obstacles strewn about that it's easy to trigger a hit and run, making cops get in your way and cost you coins.
